Pathological findings of respiratory and reproductive organs in male rats exposed to tobacco and electronic cigarette smoke.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Exposure to cigarette smoke, whether from traditional or electronic sources, is a growing health concern affecting both humans and animals. Although electronic cigarettes (ECs) (vapes) are often marketed as a safer alternative, evidence supporting their reduced toxicity is still lacking. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the pathological effects of exposure to traditional cigarette smoke and EC vaporin rats, particularly focusing on respiratory and reproductive organs. Methods: A total of 32 male rats were randomly assigned to four groups ( Results: Significant pathological differences ( Conclusion: Exposure to both traditional and ECs induced comparable pathological changes in lung and testicular tissues. These findings suggest that ECs may pose similar health risks as conventional cigarettes, emphasizing the need for caution in their use and further investigation into their safety profile.
